gamers nexus just dropped a 3 hour video where they talk to various companies involved in the consumer PC space, some of whom really open up about their costs and economics and how operating in america just isnt feasible under the current tariffs
I do not envy anyone who is trying to upgrade an aging PC. Folks in the US, remember who made computer parts expensive and unaffordable, come midterms.
I’m glad I did so just before Trump got elected again. I’m also glad I got a GPU when I did, despite the ridiculous cost.
Built a gaming PC last year and a mini computer arrived last month riiiiight before tariffs kicked in. I think I’m good for the next 4 years at least. My daily driver laptop was built in 2011 so I’m used to hanging onto tech for a while!
What are the specs of the 2011 laptop?
So glad I built my 5800X3D/7900XTX system when I did. It’s got plenty of horsepower for the next several years for my usage.
